In my opinion the best beach in Samana (have seen many of them) . Extremely quiet , clean, almost empty but with two great chiringuitos ( beach bars) serving lobsters and so on. We were there as a group of four. The house is huge , you can choose a sleeping room according to your taste . Very nice swimming pool (actually two!). Great food prepared by the the staff. A fabulous real waterfront, beach villa. Absolutely exceptional.

Beautiful beach... the house not so much.

We booked Villa Tabiki for our family getaway -6 nights (11 adults and two children under 5yrs). We were received by the property manager and staff. They simply said “Hi” and proceeded to just stare at our group. No one came up to us to formally introduce themselves to us making it a pretty awkward arrival and not welcoming at all. The house sits on a beautiful piece of land directly in front of the beach. The beach is beautiful. There aren’t a lot of tourist or people walking by. The house itself has seen better days and is not worth the money we paid. 1:No hot water!!

2: No bathtubs making it quite difficult to bathe children. 3: Toilets not flushing (we mentioned this to Elias and he attempted to fix it but it was eventually left as is). 4:One of the bathroom sinks leaked from beneath (quite a lot ) when used. This was also brought up to management but was not fixed. 5: Little to no water pressure. We ended up having to share bathrooms. 6:The Water in the bathroom smelled sooo bad!! Literally like rotten eggs. We had to use bottled water to brush our teeth and basically gag while showering. 7:The finishing around the pool is extremely slippery when wet 8:The “living area” was not really useable. The sofa covers smelled and didn’t feel sanitary (the entire house felt dirty). The TV was not there on our arrival date. It was installed the next day. Worked for one day and then didn’t work for the rest of the trip. 9: You are literally living outdoors. The dining space is outdoors which we didn’t mind but you are constantly swatting bugs off of your food. 10: There are no locks to the main entrance (which also has gaps since they are sliding doors) Nothing closes the space off from the outdoors. There was no refuge from mosquitos and bugs. 11:The dog would roam the beach and outdoors and come back and lounge on all the sitting areas. There was dog hair everywhere. We had to place towels on the sitting areas to sit. 12: Due to the no locks on the door- we found a security guard in our kitchen one night (after 10:30pm when most of us were asleep) eating and drinking our food. This was a HUGE security issue for us and quite frankly COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE). This was reported the next morning and we were told they would speak to the persons boss. But we never heard an update. It is evident that the house is not being managed properly. The one thing we were thankful for was for using the chef services. Luis and his team were phenomenal.

Réponse du propriétaire:

Good evening dear damarys, all the team has been extremely surprised by your words.

Let me correct with your permission what is wrong and clearly dishonest in your review.

1- Management team came 3 times and you said everything was all right. I received absolutely not a single request from you.

When you left , you said you were very satisfied!

2-We changed the tv as soon as we learn about it . Our fantastic cleaning lady washed everything everyday , thank you for the very arrogant way you treat them with these words by the way .

3- We never have any security problem NEVER, EVER. Everything has been perfectly allright on your side , not a single thing less as for every customer , thank you to tell the truth.

May be are you too much used to condos, we are a house on the beach and if you would have prefered a 3 rd line house in a condominium with fences everyway, villa tabiki and its heaven spot is probably not for you.

We have a security personal and we re in a very safe place.

So waiting all this time after departure to write such things surprised us a lot.

Remarks : Hot water can take 3 to 4 minutes to be really hot . An yes sometimes water around a swimming pool makes the ground wet indeed ..

Conclusion : We really invest our best for our estimated clients . It's a full comittment and our premium status added to our 5 star reviews from other clients can testify of it

Great property

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Tabiki. We had 4 boys ages 17-20 and 6 adults. The yard in front of the ocean was perfect for daily football games as well as the awesome massages. The maid staff was outstanding. The beaches were absent of people other than the occasional person strolling to admire the house on the way to the tiki bar 200 meters down the beach. The snorkeling in front of the house was enjoyed by all. We only went into town one night so most of our time was spent at the house. I booked this trip very last minute by basically searching all of the Caribbean with houses available for our travel dates. No particular destination or Island in mind. We have stayed in many places throughout the Caribbean and also own a vacation home on the coast. We found Villa Tabiki to provide a very relaxing trip and a great treat to experience Las Terranas.

Bliss on the beach

We stayed at Villa Tabiki the last week of May 2018. We had three small children and eight adults. The villa was absolutely breathtaking. We loved the yard under the coconut trees with the palapas for shade near the ocean. We had couples massages under the trees near the beach. We hired Alfredo and his staff to prepare all our meals and we were very satisfied with the selection of his menus. The meals were delicious and the presentations grand! They served our meals, cleaned all the dishes every day, and kept the villa very clean. It was a great feeling to have a walkable beach for miles each way with very few people on the beach. The water was gorgeous and the sand soft. There is ongoing construction of a new villa right next door, but there was only one day when there was heavy equipment operating. Jean Charles did tell us about it before we arrived. The workers do begin working about 8 am and continue until about 6 pm every day of the week. The staff did a terrific job of fulfilling every request we made. There is no ice machine, so keeping our adult beverages nice and cold required daily trips for ice. They did have a nice size ice chest for beer that stayed at the bar next to the pool. Everyone had a fabulous time relaxing and enjoying family time. I would return in a heartbeat. Some of us did get a few bug bites, but we are fair skinned and I think it may have been bugs from the long walks in the sand on the beach or after the brief rain showers. This is one of the best villas we have rented in the last 7 trips to various islands. It definitely filled all the squares! Thanks Jean Charles for sharing your little piece of heaven with us!

Couldn't have found a more beautiful place to spend my birthday!

Spent a week at Villa Tabiki to celebrate my birthday with some of my close friends, and couldn't have had a better experience.

The Villas is stunning. Feet from the beach. Spectacular rooms.

The staff was top rate. So friendly and helpful, although they speak little to no English, I was fortunate to have friends that spoke passable Spanish.

I would definately come back.

My only complaint was about the chef. Tried to set up a dinner for me and my friends, and trying to get that set up failed. I had to cancel, and make other arrangments. Very frustrating. I feel one dinner was a waste of his time. Maybe every day, every meal, would have worked. I would avoid him.

Staff made an excellent breakfast on morning for all of us, and it was so delicious!!

I have nothing but the best things to say about this place!

It can be a bit difficult to find, especially when you show up at night, but Jeanette, the property manager waited until we showed up. She is so wonderful. She speakes excellent english, and is always just a phone call away!! And sets up all your excursions!

Smith's 50th Anniversary at Villa Tabiki

There are not enough words to describe how incredible our experience was with Jean Charles, his staff, and his lovely property, Villa Tabiki. Celebrating our 50th anniversary with family and friends here turned out to be an incredible vacation. Jean Charles was wonderful to work with. He answered all our questions, responded quickly to emails, and therefore, made the planning of our trip easy.

Villa Tabiki is beautiful, and the open layout of the house only adds to its appeal. The view of the beach is breath taking. We enjoyed both pools, but the beach was by far a favorite. We had every intention of venturing out and exploring the Dominican Republican while we were there, but we were so spoiled by the staff that we never left. Alfredo and Jorje treated us to international cuisine, Elias and Carlos were available for any maintenance needs, Solo secured the property, while Annie and Anelis helped with housekeeping and watching the children that came. All of which allowed us to relax even more and truly enjoy our celebration vacation. We’ve already booked a week for next year!!
